Check out Bursaspors CROCODILE stadium...

[Easy 10]

Construction has started at the site of the 45,000-seat football Timsah Stadium in Turkey, a 150,000 sq m scheme backed by the Bursa Metropolitan Municipality.

The distinctive design, which is designed to resemble a crocodile, was produced by Bursa-based practice Sozuneri Architects and pays tribute to Bursaspor, nicknamed the Green Crocodiles, which will use the stadium as its home ground when it is finished. Timsah Stadium means Crocodile Stadium in English.

Site clearance started in June and it is planned construction will be completed by the end of 2012 when Bursaspor will move from its current home ground, the 25,000-seat Bursa Ataturk Stadium.

The team, which plays in Turkey’s top division, signed England international goalkeeper Scott Carson from Premiership side West Bromwich Albion earlier this summer.


Looks like something you'd see at a threme park, but I think it looks bloody BRILLIANT. I'm all for unusual stadium designs. Well done you crazy turks.

That looks really interesting. Amazing the logic behind the name and design. God to see a club that can increase its capacity by almost double. Remind you of another club?

Crocodile Stadium = FLAIR.

All it needs is a water slide going round the inside of the roof. There's flair and there's the world according to Disney.

Imagine having a stadium similar to the birds neat in Beijing, thy would have been great! Note - I am not complaining about falmer.
